SHOWCASE REGIONS 2017:
|
Over and above the
different provinces, entries are grouped into
Showcase Regions for the
purpose of acknowledging the top achievers in
the different regions. A Showcase
Region on it self comprises of different
Local Areas.
The concept of Local Areas was
introduced with the purpose to facilitate the
scheduling of events as it indicates the
physical location of a school / institution or
individual participant.
All venues are grouped according to the
relevant Local Area. When submitting entries
online, participants / schools will soon be able to
view the available venues in their Local Area.
They will then have the option to select an
appropriate venue for their particular events.
They will also be able to select an appropriate
venue in another local area if their local area
does not provide a venue for their events (e.g.
dance items, backing track items, etc.).

The "?" in grayscale
blocks indicate the option to add a NEW LOCAL
AREA not provided for in the list.
It
speaks for itself that a Regional Showcase will
only be presented in regions where it is
warranted by a significant number of entries.
Similarly, the number of entries could also
warrant the presentation of multiple showcases
in a region, e.g. Joburg North (previously known
as Randburg and Sandton regions).
Please note:
- Various circumstances (e.g.
mid-terms, school holidays,
school activities that you are
aware off, etc.) could cause
difficulties with the proposed
time frame for your region.
- If needed, you are welcome
to propose alternative dates for
hosting eisteddfod activities in
your region in order to provide
for those challenges.
- The adjudication of Full
Shows / Productions (revue,
etc.) can be arranged on any
date according to you production
schedule. Kindly contact Rolien
at the NEA Office in this
regard.
